1998-2001 BMW 7 Series DICE iPod Integration Kit Installation Instructions Manual

DICE iPod Integration Kit Installation Instructions for BMW 7 Series ’98-’01 (E38) IF THE BELOW STEPS AND SUBSEQUENT PROGRAMMING ARE NOT PERFORMED EXACTLY AS OUTLINED, YOUR DICE KIT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. If you have any technical or operational questions not related directly to the physical installation of the Dice unit, please call Dice technical support directly at 1.888.342.3999. Before you begin the installation process, it is IMPERATIVE that you read and understand the following information. • The Dice module is a very complex piece of hardware that is responsible for very complicated communications between your iPod and your BMW. It will not just “work” once you plug it in. Much like a computer, it requires patience and an understanding of the hardware and its operation to use. • Your iPod MUST be updated with the very latest firmware from Apple. To get this software, you must have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, connect your iPod, and update the software through iTunes. Before you attempt to install your DICE kit, make SURE that your iPod has the latest firmware installed or the DICE kit will exhibit erratic operation. 1 of 15 Any reproduction, distribution, modification, or dissemination of these instructions without written permission from Bavarian Soundwerks is expressly forbidden and a violation of international copyright law.

NO OPERATION during this period can be performed. You must wait until both the vehicle and iPod have completed the initialization to use the system. • You must be PATIENT when operating the DICE iPod integration kit. Because there is a great deal of communication occurring between your car, DICE system, and iPod, operation is NOT instantaneous. With each button press, you must wait a moment or two to allow the hardware to communicate and function. • The DICE system has a learning curve. If you do not read the included operation manual, you will not be able to figure out how to use the system. READ THE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FIRST! • We recommend a “dry run” before you route the Dice cable to the front of the car. Follow all wiring instructions below to ensure proper operation. Tools Required: Available at any local auto parts store • Panel Removal Tool • Philips Head Screwdriver • Radio Removal Tools • Metric socket set • Torx bit set • Brain The Process: • Disconnect negative battery terminal before proceeding. We’ll begin by disassembling the trunk first. From there, we’ll run the Dice cable to the front of the car, at which point we will plug the cable into the Dice module. From the Dice module, we will route the cable that connects the Dice module to your Ipod. Lastly, we will initialize the Dice system. Begin by removing all items from the trunk of the vehicle. Make sure that all tail lights are in working order. If not, now is a good time to replace them. Also remove the carpet that covers the floor of the trunk, as it will reveal a couple of fasteners that will need removing.
